Test post from Blogsy

 Hello!

This is a test post from the Blogsy app on my iPad.

It all seems very simple. The app has a nice interface and is easy to work with. Unsurprisingly I have not read the instructions yet I’m doing this post blind.

Let’s add a picture to the post and see how that works.

 

 Well that wasn’t too hard even without the instructions.

The app did crash the first time I tried to upload a picture so I’ll need to keep an eye on that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So let’s publish this and see how it looks.

This is an aside

This post is using the aside format.

Got something to say on your blog, but don’t think it is enough to be worth a full post?

Why not use the Aside format for your post? If you are using a theme that supports them, Asides, are an ideal way to add a short post to your site almost like a status update on Facebook.

What is an aside? Well when you have something to say to someone that is not part of the main conversation you may lean in towards them and make your comment, Asides on WordPress are the equivalent of this, they are a post, just like any other but they are designed to be short. For example, say that the day your bins gets collected has changed, you have written about this before and all the residents know, but you just feel you need to remind them? Well  as you have written about this already you dan’t need to write a lot maybe just a few words like

Don’t forget bin collections have changed this week and  it’s bin day tomorrow..

If you did this as a post it would look a bit sad, people would click on it expecting more. If you were to do this using the Aside format for your post, it would publish to the front page just the same as any other post but crucially without a title, so there is nothing for your readers to click to ‘see more’

How to use Asides.

Well it really couldn’t be simpler.  Go to the post page, and create your Aside, remember don’t make it too long, no more than a couple of lines, if you have your front page set to summary rather than full posts, then it needs to be less than 55 words otherwise the ‘read more’ link will appear
